Still, somebody might be willing to snap it up for that, I know Scott was looking for something similar.

I like Singular's and this is not a bad build but Old Mate is asking retail. If the bike actually fit me I'd pop for $1,200 given that Larry is off loading the frameset for around $500 at the moment and the V Blunt wheelset is worth about the same.

I got all excited! Frame is 900 marked down to 700. Still, I punched the numbers and he's asking a fair bit more than it's worth in bits.

I'd probably +1 for $1200.

Damn, I'd jump at the frameset at around $500, disc braked FG goodness

I threw down a tentative bid of $99, and won it for that. I think this is the third time that I have been to Frankston to pick up a bike, and the third time that I have forgotten that Frankston is way way further away than I assume it is. After nearly an hour in the car I arrived in Franga, chatted to the seller, handed over the money, and left without so much as a glance at the bike, as I wanted to save the weirdo-beardo excitement bit for when I was alone. As I wheeled it away to the car I snuck a peak at it, and sure enough I spotted that the riser bars were made by Nitto! Although I was dying to get down on all fours and drool over the bike right there in the driveway, I let the excitement simmer and walked back to the car without glancing at it again. When I leaned it against the gutter for a proper gaze, I spent a good 10 minutes admiring it.

Here's a few photos snapped in the shed. Frame is made from Tange Champion 'Motocross' steel, It has an Araya badge on the head tube, and I can see the remains of an Araya sticker on the down tube, I would take a swing at Kuwahara made but I really don't know. Super nice anyway! The camera flash accentuates the scratches, the scratches on the bars are actually hardly noticeable.

Is that MTB any special? My mate has a Apollo Himalaya with the Exage parts together with what looks to be the original gumwall tyres in perfect condition. I reckon I can trade it with some new Kmart MTBSO or a small amount of cash.

The kozciuosko was one of the earliest mtb availabe in Oz.. And not many survive..Other than that, its a bit low spec.

The Cascade was made by Kuwahara for the US and Canadian markets, hence the Cascade name, and where sold there as Apollo's as well. I think Apollo Australia just grabbed some for themselves to sell here. From what I can workout the Aussie and US bikes are identical.
